Automatically tweet from iOS application using Twitter Framework - Without using TWTweetComposeViewController - ios

Question

I want to post a tweet to Twitter when user taps a button in the application. I don't want to use the TWTweetComposeViewController so that the user again need to tap the Send button. I want to post tweet on tap on a button inside the application. (Using iOS Twitter Framework)
Is there any way to do this ?
Thanks

Answer 1

Use below code to do post image and text without showing ViewContoller . This is called silent Post.
- (void) shareOnTwitterWithMessage:(NSString *)message {
ACAccountStore *twitterAccountStore = [[ACAccountStore alloc]init];
ACAccountType *TWaccountType= [twitterAccountStore accountTypeWithAccountTypeIdentifier:ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter];
[twitterAccountStore requestAccessToAccountsWithType:TWaccountType options:nil completion:
^(BOOL granted, NSError *e) {
if (granted) {
NSArray *accounts = [twitterAccountStore accountsWithAccountType:TWaccountType];
twitterAccounts = [accounts lastObject];
NSDictionary *dataDict = #{#"status": message};
[self performSelectorInBackground:#selector(postToTwitter:) withObject:dataDict];
}
else {
return ;
}
}];
}
- (void)postToTwitter:(NSDictionary *)dataDict{
NSURL *requestURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update_with_media.json"];
SLRequest *request = [SLRequest requestForServiceType:SLServiceTypeTwitter requestMethod:SLRequestMethodPOST URL:requestURL parameters:dataDict];
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation([UIImage imageNamed:#"icon#2x.png"]);
[request addMultipartData:imageData
withName:#"media[]"
type:#"image/jpeg"
filename:#"image.jpg"];
request.account = twitterAccounts;
[request performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *data, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
if(!error){
NSDictionary *list =[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:&error];
if(![list objectForKey:#"errors"]){
if([list objectForKey:#"error"]!=nil){
//Delegate For Fail
return ;
}
}
}
}];
}

Try this:
NSString *statusesShowEndpoint = #"https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json";
NSDictionary *params = #{#"status": #"Hello, my first autopost tweet..."};
NSError *clientError;
NSURLRequest *request = [[[Twitter sharedInstance] APIClient]
URLRequestWithMethod:#"POST"
URL:statusesShowEndpoint
parameters:params
error:&clientError];
if (request) {
[[[Twitter sharedInstance] APIClient]
sendTwitterRequest:request
completion:^(NSURLResponse *response,
NSData *data,
NSError *connectionError) {
if (data) {
// handle the response data e.g.
NSError *jsonError;
NSDictionary *dicResponse = [NSJSONSerialization
JSONObjectWithData:data
options:0
error:&jsonError];
NSLog(#"%#",[dicResponse description]);
}
else {
NSLog(#"Error code: %ld | Error description: %#", (long)[connectionError code], [connectionError localizedDescription]);
}
}];
}
else {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", clientError);
}
